BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurs rarely with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as compared with other connective tissue diseases. This multicentric retrospective study of patients with SLE-ILD from the OrphaLung and French SLE networks during 2005-2020 aimed to describe the characteristics of patients with SLE-ILD and analyse factors associated with prognosis.

METHODS: We analysed data for 89 patients with SLE-ILD (82 women, 92.1%) (median age at SLE diagnosis: 35 years [interquartile range 27-47]). All patients met the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria for the diagnosis of SLE.

RESULTS: Forty two (47.2%) patients were positive for anti-ribonuclear protein antibodies and 45 (50.6%) for anti SSA/Ro antibodies. A total of 58 (65.2%) patients had another connective tissue disease: Sjögren's syndrome (n = 33, 37.1%), systemic sclerosis (n = 14, 15.7%), inflammatory myopathy (n = 6, 6.7%), or rheumatoid arthritis (n = 6, 6.7%). ILD was diagnosed along with SLE in 25 (28.1%) patients and at a median of 6 (0-14) years after the SLE diagnosis. The most frequent CT pattern was suggestive of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (n = 41, 46.0%) with or without superimposed organizing pneumonia. After a median follow-up of 86.5 [39.5-161.2] months, 18 (20.2%) patients had died and 6 (6.7%) underwent lung transplantation. The median 5-year and 10-year transplantation-free survival were 96% (92-100) and 87% (78-97). In total, 44 (49.4%) patients showed ILD progression. Cutaneous manifestations and Raynaud's phenomenon were associated with better survival. Only forced vital capacity was significantly associated with survival and ILD progression.

CONCLUSION: ILD is a rare manifestation of SLE with good overall prognosis but with possible risk of ILD progression. Patients with SLE-ILD frequently have another connective tissue disease.
